This was a post that Karalynn sent to the Yahoo group a while back. Hopefully it will help with the start of a crystal list. I don't have time to edit it right now.. But it looks like some things may be duplicated. If anyone wants to take the time to put all 3 lists into one in alphabetical order and repost it, that would be cool. Please feel free to add any more lists you have. I'm sure that Rachael will do the one list sometime down the line. :)

Re: crystal references
Thu, June 23, 2005 - 9:07 PMProperties of rocks and crystals
Gems and stones carry the living force, or energy, just as you do. For centuries, various religions have integrated the use of them into their practices. Many Jews believed that the amethyst brought forth visions and revelations. Often, gems and stones would be placed on tools of war for protection -- such as a shield, breastplate, or armband.
In Native American practices, gems and stones were collected and utilized for their healing, protective, and scrying properties. Gem power was, and still is, an actual belief and not a legend or story to them. Gems and stones were also revered for their spiritual properties and considered as aids in personal enhancement and growth.
Also, you will hear stones and rocks called precious and semiprecious. Precious stones are simply those that are hard to get, such as rubies, diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. All other stones and gems are considered semiprecious.
The energy force of gems and stones can be absorbed into the human body. They can be used in an overt magickal act (such as a spell or hands on healing), and in non-active situations (such as enhancing your own spiritual qualities and power through jewelry). They can also assist in meditation.
Since we absorb the energy of gems and stones, an overload can occur. If you begin to feel uncomfortable with any gem or stone, cease use and experimentation for the moment. Later, you can run a test to determine if it was the gem/stone or some other factor. Several "try-outs" should be run during different moon phases, not only when difficulties arise, but for general reference as well.
Although gems and stones have overall properties and meanings amassed through the years, each person interacts differently with them due to individual spiritual and physical chemistry. You will find special stones that are just for you. River beds and streams are wonderful places to find these stones. You don't have to know the properties or the name; they should be considered special gifts from the Universe, and their use will be plain to you.
All gems and stones should be cleansed, consecrated, and empowered. You can let them soak in a glass of spring water, or hold them in a stream or under a running faucet. Moonlight and sunlight are also excellent cleansers.
Wear gems and stones as close to the body as possible. Place in a pocket, purse, or wallet. Pouches can be fashioned fro leather or silk. They can be sewn in the hems of skirts or pants. Garters of gems can be created, as well as belts and headbands.
Gems can be placed on magickal tools, as well, with glue or wire. Some beautiful pieces can be made, such as goblets, Tarot boxes, wands, baskets, and herb containers.
Adventurine: General healing, dissolves unhealthy thoughts and reflects healing.
Amethyst: Induces meditation and devotional state. Develops inner mind. Tranquilizes and inspires peaceful dreaming. Helps with addictions and mental disorders, especially depressions.

Azurite: A third eye opener. Stimulates visual images.
Black Tourmaline: Stone for controlling negative environment and negative energies. Forms shield of protection and deflects discordant or negative thoughts.
Bloodstone: Powerful cleanser of blood and purifying organs. Discourages excess bleeding. Associated with Kundalini.
Citrine: For congestions, either physical or mental. Used to encourage prosperity. Unblocks energy flow.
Emerald: For balancing. Heart problems, whether physical or emotional, hypertension and to help balance blood glucose.
Fluorite: Enhances ability to concentrate.
Garnet: An energizer, which is more gentle than ruby. For anemia, paralysis and cancer. Ancient Egyptians used this as a protective gem and symbol of loyalty, passion and love.
Green Tourmaline: Balances and adds strength to nervous system. Regenerator, attunes to that which is most needed.
Herkimer: Dream stone, Helps promote out of body experiences. Helpful at childbirth.
Lapis: Cleanses lens of third eye. Penetrates subconscious blocks.
Malachite: Draws to the surface that which is impeding spiritual growth so that work may begin.
Moonstone: Represents the Goddess Energy and the feminine principal. Soothes and balances the emotions and brings peace of mind and hormonal equilibrium. For use with female problems.
Pyrite: Strengthens mental capacity. Facilitates higher knowing, opens mind. Protection and centering.
Smokey Quartz: Grounds energy and dissolves negativity.
Sodalite: Elicits deep thought and calms overreaction by enabling one to think clearly.

Re: crystal references
Fri, June 24, 2005 - 5:48 AMI keep a bunch of 'em on my altar... mostly ones I've managed to acquire on way or another. I like to wear them as well. I'd like to tell you I choose the ones I use for jewelery I picked because of their metaphysical properties but I usually just go for whatever I am drawn to and assume that if I'm drawn to it then I must need it somehow. I am always wearing a piece of tree agate. On occasion I also have a record keeper quartz point and tangerine quartz pendants that I will wear as well.
I read about a really experiment that a man did and discovered the entity that lives in quartz quite by accident.
He was a highschool biology teacher who was showing his students kirilian photography (aura photography) and invented a video form of it. (PIP something or another...) And he (1) found that he could diagnose students who were coming down with the flu or a cold before they showed any physical symptoms because of the changes in their energy field. (2) He was performing this video kirilian photography on a (woman?) who was wearing a quartz pendant and after a few seconds he noticed a white energy emanating and coming out of the crystal like a serpent but if someone tries to touch it or move it it automatically disappears back into the stone.
This is one step closer to 'scientifically' proving that crystals and stones do, in fact, have their own consciousness and are a living being in and of themselves, although it is different than consciousness as most classify it. Isn't that fascinating?? -

Re: crystal references
Fri, June 24, 2005 - 8:26 AMI love kirlean photography... I've never heard that story, but I believe that it is really cool.
I also sometimes where things with intention or just because they feel good. I have crystals all over my house and use them for different things if they are calling to me. I do have some on my alter as well. I carry them in my medicine bag with my herbs and stuff. I bring them with me when I travel.
I also sometimes use them in my healing work, depending on what needs to be done.
I've been told I'm a crystal hog.. but I've seen worse. LOL -

Re: crystal references
Sat, June 25, 2005 - 6:48 PMI read that story in a really fascinating (and highly recommended, on my part) book called something to the effect of: The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls: Past, Present, and Future, by Chris Morton and Ceri (last name?).
I am very drawn to stones I love having them around. I bought a gorgeous quartz cluster a few weekends ago. I haven't bought a big stone like thta for myself in forever. I just picked it up and said "Oh My God I HAVE to have this...." so I brought it home with me.
I bought from a guy who sells his stones in the Westfield SHoppingtown: Enfield Mall on Fathers' Day weekend. He has a shop in Manchester that I have yet to go to myself. He sells CD's as well of his harp music that he has written and he has some really beautiful stuff.
I don't carry 'em around in my pockets (which I have tried) because I forget them there and they go through the wash or I lose them for weeks so I can only wear them if they are on jewelery, LOL. But I do LOVE crystals... they have such a radiant energy to them!
